Also, real earnings management needs effective monitoring by the corporate board, as suggested by resource dependency theory and agency theory. The previous literature in developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States and China, has highlighted these propositions. However, because the regulatory framework, institutional settings and strength of the internal mechanisms vary from those of developing countries, the validity of these theories on the African economy, especially in the post-adoption era of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), needs to be ascertained. Therefore, this study examines the influence of internal monitoring mechanisms and corporate attributes on the real earnings management of non-financial firms listed in Nigeria with the moderating effect of IFRS adoption. The study also examines the significant reduction in the level of real earnings management after mandating the IFRS adoption. This study reviewed 2,117 articles via Bibliometric analysis, using the Scopus database of 29 years between 1992 and 2021. The study used secondary sources to extract financial data from Thomson Reuters DataStream, Bloomberg and companies’ annual reports between 2012 and 2019. The study population comprised 116 non-financial firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). A total of 74 firms were considered for the period of eight years after the study implemented the screening and filtering measures. Therefore, a panel data of 592 firm-year observations of non-financial firms were tested using regression analysis. The overall findings revealed that audit committee size, audit committee financial expertise, chief executive officer (CEO) ownership, CEO tenure, profitability, and political connection of selected board members significantly reduced the magnitude of real earnings management. Furthermore, the outcome revealed that audit committee independence, audit committee meetings, CEO financial expertise, CEO nationality and free cash flow are associated with high real earnings management. The result also showed that the interaction of IFRS adoption with internal monitoring mechanisms reduced the magnitude of real earnings management. The findings of this study will assist relevant authorities in formulating suitable policies to enhance the role and the quality of the audit committees and CEOs in organisations. Thus, the study recommends that regulators strengthen the appointment process of competent board members and CEOs to reduce the magnitude of real earnings management and assist investors in making investment decisions.

| summary | Real earnings management becomes a concern for stakeholders and regulatory agencies because it directly affects the future value and growth of the firms. Also, real earnings management needs effective monitoring by the corporate board, as suggested by resource dependency theory and agency theory. The previous literature in developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States and China, has highlighted these propositions. However, because the regulatory framework, institutional settings and strength of the internal mechanisms vary from those of developing countries, the validity of these theories on the African economy, especially in the post-adoption era of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), needs to be ascertained. Therefore, this study examines the influence of internal monitoring mechanisms and corporate attributes on the real earnings management of non-financial firms listed in Nigeria with the moderating effect of IFRS adoption. The study also examines the significant reduction in the level of real earnings management after mandating the IFRS adoption. This study reviewed 2,117 articles via Bibliometric analysis, using the Scopus database of 29 years between 1992 and 2021.
